Experiences

Events & Experiences

QCH and Morgan have created, designed, and implemented a wide range of experiences, including:

  • Missing Linck Fest. This festival, held on the first Saturday of June every year, asks around 20 local breweries to use a yeast strain found in a wood, pre-Prohibition fermenter, within a rediscovered, long sealed off lagering cellar to make whatever style of beer they want — as long as it uses Linck yeast.
  • The heralded Murder On The Menu dinner series. You’ve undoubtedly heard of mystery theater dinners — Mr. Plum did it in the dining room with a candle stick! — and true crime podcasts, books, movies, and TV. To our knowledge, is the first and only event to combine true crime and dinner. Morgan narrates the details of a historic true crime in three acts. In between, chef Jon Diebold serves four courses inspired by the era of the crime, each paired with a craft beer, wine, or 1920’s cocktail.
  • Historic walking tours. Morgan started the first large-scale walking tours in Cincinnati in the early 2000s, including Prohibition Resistance, the first tours of 19th century brewery buildings created for the Brewery District CURC.
  • Everybody’s Beer Class. Morgan, who taught the wildly popular beer history and appreciation course at UC for a decade, walks “students” through a simplified explanation of beer styles and ingredients, empowering you to understand why you like or hate what you do, giving you the knowledge to explore more, and peppering in some entertaining history of inebriation along the way. (These can be catered to particular interests, done at residences, events, or in conjunction with breweries or bars.)
  • Created the Bier Garten at Findlay Market.
  • Large-scale festivals, including running Bockfest from 2006-2015, saving it from extinction, then growing it from a small, fledgling neighborhood party into a regional draw with tens-of thousands of attendees annually.

We can help your community, business, or organization find its voice and create experiences that will share your story and engage the public.

We also still conduct our own signature events for private bookings; and Michael D. Morgan is available to speak on a variety of subjects.
